Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liang Xinghua had just signed the contract and walked out of the Office when he happened to run into Wang Erhai, who had come to discuss equity transfer with Huo Guoqiang!

The two bumped into each other in the Company Corridor!

Seeing Liang Xinghua appear here, Wang Erhai couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing Wang Erhai appear here, Liang Xinghua was also stunned.

Wang Erhai originally didn't want to pay attention to Liang Xinghua; he wanted to pretend he hadn't seen him and just walk right past.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xinghua took the initiative to call out:

"Wang Erhai, how come you're here? You wouldn't be planning to rejoin Liguo Mountain, would you?"

Liang Xinghua's heart sank, a bad premonition rising within him.

Since Liguo Mountain could invite him, Liang Xinghua, to return, they naturally could also invite Wang Erhai to return.

He thought that if Wang Erhai came back again, who knew when he might be schemed against from behind by Wang Erhai and forced out again!

He had always assumed Wang Erhai was targeting him from the shadows; this was practically persecution complex.

Wang Erhai's tone was flat as he answered honestly:

"No, I came today just to discuss some matters with General Manager Huo."

Hearing Wang Erhai say this, Liang Xinghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth:

"You can't come back to Liguo Mountain, but I have. Wang Erhai, you said before that I only got by in Liguo Mountain thanks to you? Now it seems that's not the case, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai was stunned.

Then he recalled what Huo Guoqiang had said to him yesterday.

Wasn't the reason Huo Guoqiang brought Liang Xinghua back precisely to show sincerity to him, Wang Erhai, in order to recruit him back?

Now that Wang Erhai had clearly stated he wouldn't return, and had honestly told Huo Guoqiang that his fish pond was poisoned by Liang Xinghua.

In this situation, Huo Guoqiang absolutely couldn't keep Liang Xinghua; the greater possibility was that he'd just been hired today and in two days they'd find some random excuse to fire him.

Thinking of this, Wang Erhai's gaze toward Liang Xinghua couldn't help but carry a hint of sympathy.

But he also knew he couldn't say too much to Liang Xinghua, otherwise Liang Xinghua would again think it was him pulling strings behind the scenes, ruining this hard-won job.

So he just said politely:

"Didn't expect Uncle Xinghua could still return to Liguo Mountain, that's really congratulations. I have other matters, won't chat much, goodbye!"

After speaking, Wang Erhai hurried forward.

He didn't want to say even a single more word to Liang Xinghua; different paths don't make for shared plans — wasting breath on someone like Liang Xinghua was simply a waste of his own life.

However, watching Wang Erhai's retreating back, Liang Xinghua got smug:

"Wang Erhai, one day I'll be more promising than you, just you wait!"

Wang Erhai paused his footsteps, wanting to speak.

But in the end he held back.

He continued forward, and behind him came Liang Xinghua's voice again:

"Wang Erhai, I'll prove I never relied on you to get into Liguo Mountain! I could be a Branch Company top dog before, and I still have the capability now!"

He spoke very loudly, with a kind of emotional venting; many people in the Company heard it.

Wang Erhai ignored him and continued forward, entering Huo Guoqiang's Office.

And Huo Zhi Hui, working not far away, heard Liang Xinghua's words and couldn't help laughing softly, muttering:

"This retard..."

Thinking that tomorrow he'd just find some random excuse to make Liang Xinghua scram, he even felt a bit sorry for Liang Xinghua.

Right, what excuse should he use tomorrow to make Liang Xinghua scram?

Say it's because his left foot stepped into the Company, or because he breathed the Company's air?

"Liang Xinghua, hurry to the Construction Site to supervise; there's a project needing supervision today, don't let anything go wrong!"

Huo Zhi Hui came out of the Office and shouted a sentence at Liang Xinghua.

Liang Xinghua hurriedly replied politely and respectfully:

"Okay, General Manager Huo! I'm going right now!"

Humans are a truly wondrous species sometimes; take Liang Xinghua for example, he's really too wondrous!

Wang Erhai never did anything to harm him, even helped him big several times; not only did he not thank Wang Erhai, he actually hated him to the bone!

Yet Huo Zhi Hui not only harmed Liang Xinghua repeatedly, even specially bribed that woman Zhong Liying to set a vicious beauty trap for Liang Xinghua, not only causing him to lose his Branch Company top dog position, but nearly sending him to Prison!

But now toward Huo Zhi Hui, Liang Xinghua actually has not a shred of hatred! Only respect and gratitude!

This perhaps verifies that saying: The petty fear power but not virtue.

Wang Erhai no longer paid attention to Liang Xinghua; he entered Huo Guoqiang's Office and got straight to the point:

"General Manager Huo, let's handle the equity transfer procedures now. As for price, just give me the current market price."

Huo Guoqiang's gaze at Wang Erhai still held much regret; he couldn't help speaking:

"President Wang, you really don't need to reconsider? Liguo Mountain has already entered the City Market, business scale growing larger by the day; it's exactly the time to make money. Selling equity now means earning much less. There's truly no need to give up this great future just for those few agricultural products in Shangou Village!"

Huo Guoqiang's words could be called earnest and well-meaning.

First, he truly hoped Wang Erhai would return; Wang Erhai not only had top-tier character, his business ability wasn't bad either; keeping him would definitely benefit the Company's development more than harm.

Second, he wanted to secure Wang Erhai's full support; with only Wang Erhai's 11% equity, even if Zhang Tianhe firmly backed him, he could at best fight Zhang Sheng to a draw, let alone the fact that Zhang Tianhe might not keep supporting him forever — after all, this old fox also harbored great ambition.

Who knows, one day he might collude with Zhang Sheng and stab him in the back!

Wang Erhai, however, was very firm:

"General Manager Huo, I've really thought this through very clearly; you truly don't need to persuade me further — a person must know contentment, especially regarding money."

These were Wang Erhai's true feelings; in the past he was very poor, when he first entered society he was even tricked into a pyramid scheme in order to earn money, but now he wasn't poor anymore — financially he already had confidence, and additionally he had a wife who treated him very well; he only wanted to guard this small family and live a good life.

A person cannot want everything; he knew that if he returned to Liguo Mountain, even if the company's internal song and dance troupe were disbanded, other partners' song and dance troupes would still come to tempt him every few days, and he wasn't sure he truly had that much willpower — after all, he was merely an ordinary mortal.

"Alright then, let's process the equity transfer formalities right now."

Seeing persuasion was useless, Huo Guoqiang could only let out a sigh in the end.

Letting Wang Erhai leave the company back then could be called one of the most major decision-making mistakes in his career.

If Wang Erhai hadn't left, there fundamentally wouldn't have been so many rotten troubles afterward, nor would he have let himself fall into such a passive predicament.
